The manual eradicators of illegal crops in Colombia are at high risk of becoming landmine victims due to their work. From 2005-2008, at least 40 eradicators died and 50 were injured in landmine explosions. By 2009, 119 eradicators had been victims, and from 2008-2009, 128 of the 496 total civilian landmine victims were eradicators. The Colombian government's program of manual eradication puts eradicators in danger by not properly clearing landmines from crop fields and failing to fulfill commitments to protect civilians that were made by ratifying international agreements.
